The Rev and Snell, of rock outfit Towers Of London, have been arrested and charged with common assault.

The pair - guitarist and drummer respectively - were arrested early on Friday after they paid a visit to a former (unidentified) band member, a visit that resulted in said ex-member calling the police. Details are sketchy, but apparently the former member had been threatening the band for some time.

The pair were released on Sunday. Now out of custody, the band plan to visit Rick Rubin in the US to work on possible album tracks for their debut album.
